WASHINGTON, Jan 26 — The updated Covid-19 boosters from Pfizer Inc PFE.N/BioNTech and Moderna helped prevent symptomatic infections against the new XBB-related subvariants, offering new evidence of how the vaccines perform against these fast-spreading strains, US officials said on Wednesday.
Lab studies had suggested that vaccine protection was lower against the XBB variants compared with prior variants, raising questions about how well the vaccines worked against these rising strains of the virus, Jackson said. Although not reflected in the study, Jackson said data to be released later on Wednesday shows the updated vaccine reduced the risk of death from Covid-19 by more than twofold compared with vaccinated people who had not received the updated booster. The updated shot also reduced the risk of death from Covid-19 by nearly 13-fold in people who are unvaccinated.
